I feel like Carter was at least a decent human being. His policies might have been crap but his heart was in the right place.

Biden is just a puppet of the establishment trying to make sure the elites gain more and more power over the people.

Carter was the worst president of my life until Biden came along. Biden is far worse, Carter wasn't trying to destroy America.

Pretty crazy to think about during WWII the tax rate on people making over $200,000 was 94%.

Carter was honest. He was an awful president, but he was honest. For that alone, I say things are worse now.

21.5% prime rate

14.4% inflation


I think if we measured inflation the same way as we did under Carter, we probably would exceed that 14.4%.

I would say houses are probably less affordable now than they were in the 70’s even with the high interest rates.

Carter was bad. Real bad but his bad was mostly economically bad. Biden is morally and economically bad and the economy is going to get worse and I’m afraid much worse. The interest rate on my house was 13.5% but a nice house then cost less than $100,000. That house today would sell for $600,000.

Biden is morally bankrupt to go along with the terrible economy. Carter was morally decent, though naive, but only financially bankrupt.

In a similar way, due to his weakness the Iranians, like the Russians today with Biden took advantage of Carter.

We are in a bigger mess today as Biden has 2 years left on his term and God knows what more damage he can do. Fortunately in 1980 we had Reagan to the rescue. Who’s going to rescue America in 2024 and do we have an electorate who can recognize the right leader?

Carter had the hostages in Iran. Every evening on network news they showed a graphic of how many days they had been there. Nowadays network news wouldn’t dare expose a Dem president like that.

Joe Biden hates America and what it stands for. He hates half of the population because they disagree with him. He is 100% about politics and could care less about this nation. He’s an evil son of a bitch.

Joe Biden is hands down the worst President in American history and it isn’t even close.


When you go with the "evil and hates America" criteria then Obama is the worst. Add that criteria and inept puppet them Biden fits the bill

Carter was actually in the White House in the Oval Office.
I've never seen Biden in the Oval Office.

My grandfather says that you could buy 2x4 studs for less than a dollar a piece but he was upset by the gas prices.He said the price went from 30cents/gal to 55cents/gal like over night.
The interest rates were almost to the Moon .
xiden* has doubled the gas price On Purpose, which I consider to be Treason.

democrats make idiots look smart.

Worse, but it took 4 years to get there. Almost instantly better once Reagan was elected

Put it this way, 40+ years later and my pops still goes into a profanity laced rant at the mere mention of his name. Oh and Jimmy’s work with habitat for humanity? My dad likes to say that son of bitch should be building houses since his incompetent arse put enough people out of theirs during his presidency.

It was better under Carter.

People saw Carter as an intelligent man, he spoke well with minimal teleprompters (if any) and things were done to handle the gas shortages. He didn't lie to our faces.

I knew people from Georgia who knew him personally and the there were no questionable ethics unlike, say, the Biden Family Values.

Finally: Carter's Brother created "Billy Beer" and that was a problem but it made people smile. Biden has Hunter Biden who sells paintings, is a multimillionaire international something or other, and who is embarrassing on too many fronts. Billy Carter vs. Hunter Biden. Pretty much sums up the differences.
